Seaside Customs specialises in designing automotive electronics, CAN communication and standalone solutions for Mercedes-Benz automatic gearboxes. Here we build devices and software that let components run in swap, restomod and motorsport projects — even when the factory controllers can't talk to each other.
Every solution is built on real analysis of the CAN bus, controller logic and the requirements of the specific vehicle. Instead of universal compromises we create solutions designed for the specific configuration and the way the car behaves.
R&D base
The foundation of Seaside Customs projects is our own research-and-development base. Years of analysing thousands of CAN frames and working with different manufacturer platforms led to the creation of Smart CAN Tool 3 — a professional tool for analysing, decoding and comparing CAN bus communication.
It is the knowledge developed while building Smart CAN Tool 3 that lets us precisely identify dependencies between controllers, find missing signals and design emulators and CAN bridges that behave like factory modules.
Scope of services
Analysis of CAN communication, identification of missing signals and diagnostics of engine and gearbox controllers.
Running 7G-Tronic (722.9) gearboxes outside the factory vehicle architecture and integrating with non-standard engine controllers.
Simulating the operation of ABS, EZS, the gear selector, the brake pedal and other modules required for the drivetrain to work correctly.
Translating communication between controllers of different makes and generations, letting components that were never factory-fitted together work as one.
Designing dedicated devices based on STM32 microcontrollers, custom firmware and individual hardware solutions.
Who it's for
The offer is aimed at workshops doing swaps, companies building restomods and show cars, motorsport teams and clients running non-standard projects for which no ready solutions exist.
From analysing CAN logs, through electronics and software design, to testing on real controllers — Seaside Customs delivers complete solutions that work as if they were part of the factory installation.
Where series electronics reaches its limits, Seaside Customs solutions begin.
Tell us what vehicle you have, what engine and what gearbox, what you want to get running and which controllers you use. We'll reply with what can be done and where to start — from a single conversion to a complete swap solution.
